RALLY afterschool childcare closed; $1.05M returned to city
What happened
The district's RALLY afterschool childcare program shut down in summer 2025. On February 10, 2026 the board returned $1,050,000 in city funds restricted to afterschool care, closing out the program, though it kept up to $180,000 of RALLY reserves for the Dzantik'i Heeni playground.
Why it matters to families
Working families lost the district-run before/after-school care option and now depend on private providers; returning the restricted money makes the closure effectively permanent.
The evidence
The October 28, 2025 board materials disclose the summer 2025 closure and propose the fund return; February 10, 2026 approved minutes record the unanimous final vote.
